Hey guys,

I have a "Previous Systems" folder on my mac weighing around 18gb.
I recently upgraded from 10.5 > 10.6 > 10.8.
Can i just get rid of this folder now?

That folder was used by the Archive and install procedure (last seen with Snow Leopard I think).

If your happy your system has everything you need and your data is safely backed up then yes, delete away.

I like that description. ;D

But yeah, if there's nothing in that folder that you need (that you don't have saved elsewhere) then toss it. In any case, doing so will not harm your computer.
